Disability Rights Arkansas

Did you know that guardianship laws vary from state to state? Are you familiar with Arkansas’ guardianship laws? The National Resource Center for Supported Decision-Making provides a one sheet document for each state that provides information about right to counsel, the advocacy role of counsel, and links to the guardianship statutes.
